don't want to be a buzzkill , and I really respect what they're doing , but average rowing speed is around 2 mph . current on the Hudson is often that strong so he really must have to wait fr a fair tide . 12 miles ? around 6 hours of rowing each way .? and when the wind is over 10 mph that boat would be very wet and dangerous . the Hudson is a Big fast moving river with lots of ship traffic . didn't see any floatation in it either , so one bad wave and you'd be swamped or sunk . would have liked some more informed questions about how he manages . but the folding bike and boat are definitely cool
I was thinking the same thing. He must time his commute with the tides. I've never boated around NYC. I've heard that the Hudson River isn't really a river, but an estuary. Salt water around NYC. He doesn't have to row against a constant river current when headed north. But what if he gets stuck at work? Then I guess he just rides his bike the whole way. He can ride across the GW Bridge instead of rowing.
@@yankinwaoz tide turns every 6 1/2 hrs and can be quite strong . if the wind and the tide are running in opposite direction the waves can get pretty nasty
Def not surprised. I live 8 miles from friends in downtown DC and rarely see them cause of the time it takes. Could drive an hour to them or a hour to visit relatives
A frustrating report short on many important details. For instance: How long does it take each man to get to work? Do they really commute in harsh winter weather? I understand why these men would like to avoid driving to/from work, but why do they choose these methods as opposed to using mass transit? Are there any downsides? Have they had any accidents? I commuted from NJ to NYC for years on my bike and I know that alternate methods of commuting are not as easy as this story makes them out to be. There is a fascinating story here -- just not in this particular presentation. Lazy reporting.
This probably is thee best PSA ever! I’m 59 and I’m “car lite” and loving it!
Can we shout out how well she rode a unicycle
No kidding!! I wonder how long it took her to be able to do that?? It is NOT easy to do for a beginner!
It's ridiculous how fast he has to pedal to ride that thing. I work out some but I'd be gassed after 5 min of that.
Seriously, are you kidding me?? She's a natural
Thank goodness there are other people out there who understand the beauty of complexity.
More , please .
Would love more stories like this !

Interesting comments, thanks.
These guys have it figured out!
Although both of these make an interesting story, honestly a commuter bike just seems more practical in both cases.
Just saw a story of a guy paddle boarding across the Hudson from NJ.
Commuting in a 79 Ferrari sounds absolutely horrible.
Absolutely fabulous!
I would love a follow up on how COVID has affected going to and coming back from work.
HIlarious! The reality is there is only 3 months of nice weather in NYC a year!
3 months May June July August September October are all nice in NYC ems
I can’t imagine riding a unicycle to work through a Minnesota winter either. That would be miserable!
These modes of transport look good - in the summer. Not so much in the snow or the rain.
These men ROCK! 🏆
Whatever it takes!
What happens when there's inclement weather like rain, fog, or snow?
What does he do in bad weather lol
One of my favorite tv shows.
Too dangerous.
Those are always the people that smell bad in the office
I take a car, bus, ferry, subway and then walk to work. 😒
No carbon footprint there ...Bravo 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

That’s so cool.
Awesome vid
Was really hoping to find out who owned the 79 Ferrari
Charles Osgood
Smart !!!!
He's a genius!!! Obviously!!!
In all honesty I’m a little skeptical as to how practical this is when there’s icebergs in the Hudson.
The Dutch skate to work
@@jjjj2411 I can see him putting blades on that vessel.... almost like a hydrofoil.
Has he never heard of public transport?
